GREY hoped the house 'wculdzi agree with the amendment, which was rather benrficial than not, being framed to matt the case of the Irish female convicts. The hon. member objected to the amendment because he seemed to think that the failure of the convict to report himself would not make him liable to any other penalty than the revocation of his licence. That was not the case, as the fifth clause would make him liable to a misdemeanour, He objected to the monthly reporting of a convict, because he believed it would act as an absolu'e bar to convicts, at least in England, obtaining an honest living, After a few words from Mr Ayrton, Mr Moore, and Sir Hugh Cairns, who said that ho should vote against the Lock' atntndment, on t e ground that it would iutertere with the Irish system, which had worked so well, The house divided, with the following result — For the Lords' amendment B4 Against it Majority The remaining amendments were then agreed to. GREEK LOAN BILL. On the motion for the • bird reading of this bill, Colonel DU - NNE pointed out that, according to the treaty, the dotation to th. , King of Greece was tstly for the period that he might occupy the Greek throne, while in the bill it was made payable for his life, lie wished to know whether the other patty to the treaty agreed to the payment being for life, or only while King George remained upon the throne. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the Government did not think it wise to grant the dotation at the present time beyond the period of the King's reign. Mr HENNESSY contended that the bill Aliould be in strict accordance with the treaty, and that the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself had made the same admission the other night. He moved that the bill should be recom mitted, for the purpose of altering the word " reign" into "for life." After some discussion, in which it was explained that the recommittal of the bill would lead to no practical result, as the bill could not be extended beyond the terms of the resolution on which it was founded, the motion was with drawn, and the bill was read a this d time and passed. The Local Government Act was read a second time. TLe lnclosure (No. 2) Bill passed through. committee.

Eas-ern Railway Company's propoed new railways and central city station Mr. Hawkshaw, C.E , was examined, and expressed nis opinion that the proposed increased facilities for the traffic of the company were essentially required, in consequence more particularly of the increased tr.ffic oa the Cambridge section of their system. It had ben urged that the extra accommodation r- quired might be adequately supplied by the doubling of the North London line between Hack ney and their city terminus in Liverpool-street, but he (Mr. Hawkshaw) was of opinion that the Lon don and North-Western and North London would require all that accommodation for themselves. The Great Eastern communicated with three counties, had expended £2'0,000,000, and had constructed 600 miles of railway, and were entitled for the accommodation of their traffic to have these addi- tional railways and an independent terminus in London. Mr. Wilkinson then addressed the com mittee against the bill for the inhabitants of St. Leonard's, Shoreditch,and the committee adjourned. The Earl of Luean was under examination all day relative to the general and financial position of the Midland Great Western of Ireland Railway, of which he is the chairman. In Mr. Massey's com mittee the bills considered and passed included the Holston and Penryn Railway, Ardrossan Harbour, New Brighton Pier, and Fleetwood Docks.

THE ALLEGED GREAT FORGERY IN THE CITY.--This day Gustave Lhemann and Lucien Flatow were placed at the bar, on remand, before Alderman Gibbons, charged with forging, and in company with Emilo Werner, conspiring to defraud Messrs. Le Grand, Tanco, and Co., of the City of:London, and 11, Rue Bergeri, of goods and moneys to.the extent of .f. 30,000. After some further vidence, the prisoners were com mitted fa trial. THAMES. AN ALABAMA MAN Is TROUBLE.—COWARDLY As-. iiuLT.—Hugh Daly, an Irish Yansee sailor, was brought before Mr Partridge, charged with violently assaulting Catherine Casey. The prisoner formerly belonged to the late ship Alabama, sunk by the Kearsage, and has been staying the present week in a boarding house in the neighbourhood of Rtatcliff highway. Yesterday he quarrelled with the complainant in a public-house, and struck her a violent blow with his clenched fist on her right eye. It was frightf ally blackened and swollen. The police never saw a black eye like it be fore. The complainant would not appear when the pri soner was first brought up yesterday, and the magistrate remanded the case. The assault was clearly made out, and the prisoner, in his defence, said he was provoked. Mr Partridge said the prisoner had committed a most violent and brutal assault on the woman, and fined him £5. In default of payment three months' imprisonment. ROBBERY Ix THE LONDON Doc c.—Thomas Ward, aged 62, a labourer, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stealing lilt). of sugar, the property of the London Dock Company, his employers. The prisoner was leaving the dock at the principal gate, when a constable, named Francis Andus, took off his cap and found in it a pound and a half of sugar. It was stated that the prisoner was convicted by Mr Wool rych some time ago for having fourteen ounces of tea in his possession, and sentenced to ten days' imprisonment. The prisoner managed to obtain employment in the dock again unknown to the principal authorities of the establish ment. Ho was seen by a constable a few weeks age, who warned him to be very careful, and said he would be closely watched. The prisoner, however, commenced pilfering again. Mr Partridge said the prisoner would, obtain I t o more employment in the docks, and sentenced him to a month's imprisonment and hard labour. MARLBOROUCaI STREET. A FRADITLENT HORSE TRANSACTION.—CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY AGAINST A HORSE DEALER.—Isaao True• man, of 15, South-street, Bethnal-green, horse dealer, was charged beforo Mr Knox on a warrant with unlawfully conspiring with others not in custody, and obtaining by means of false pretences a horse, value £3O, from Mr Edmund Berry, with intent to defraud him. Mr Thomas Beard prosecuted. Mr Edmund Berry, fishmonger, 66, Charles-atreen, Pentonville, said—On the 30th April last I had a bay geld ing for sale at Aldridge's Repository. It was bought in, not fetching the price set upon it. Several persons .asked me the price. A man introduced me to the prisoner, say ing, " Here's a gentleman who will buy your pony." The prisoner said, "I have seen your pony, and it's just the thing to suit me to take my wife and child round the park. What is the price ?" I said £2O. Prisoner offered me £l9, but I refused. Prisoner then said that it I went with him he thought they could make a bargain, and I went with him into a publichouse at the corner of St. Martin's-lane. On getting there prisoner %aid, "I'll give you a pound down as deposit, and. it I approve of the pony, I will give you :Fl9 on Monday morning." I said I did not like the; mode of transacting bthiness, and he then said, " DP, you doubt me ? lam a respectable person and a cn'.•n chandler in Swan-street, Bethnal green. lam no judge of horses, although I have several ; but if it w►_ze 200 or 300 sacks of flower I could judge of it. I have a private house at Victoria Park." lie then paid me the sovereign, and said he would aer.d his man over for the pony. I said, "Ohno ; my map is here, and he will take it." My man took the pony, and I gave him certain instructions. On the Monday following I neither got my pony back nor the money which he promised, at the awe time stating that if the pony was not approved it should be returned. On the Monday I went and saw the prisoner walking up and down in front of a cornchandler's in Swan-street, and he said, on my asking him it he liked the pony,he did,and tb.at he should not " part." The prisoner said ho had to go to the Corn Ex change, that he was not prepared, but would call on Wed neaday and settle. At two on v; ednesday I received a letter making an appointment to meet me the same night. I went to the address prisor.er gave on the day of the bar gain, and he was not knr,wn there. I afterwards saw him, and he said that thir„ gs had gone rather hard, and wanted me to take a bill ',or 21 days, saying, " We transact all our business that, way," but I declined to take it or one for seven day'A. I have neither got my pony or money. By alr Pater (for the prisoner)—l let the prisoner have tb:e pony because I thought be was a respectable man. I have taken these proceedings to obtain my money and as an example to other persons. He told me to do my best or worst, as he did net get his living by paying for tbings. I never had such a sass before and hope never shall again. Mr Knox—Certain representations were made to you, which were— Mr Berry—The man who introduced the prisoner to me said he was a neighbour, and kept a cornchandler'e shop, as also did the prisoner. A young man in the employ of Mr;Berry sail—On going into the publichouse where my master and the prisoner were, the prisoner told him I was not wanted. My master told me to take the pony with the prisoner, who kept a corn chandler's shop in Swan-street. Prisoner told me to go on, and he would follow in a cab. We stoppod at the corner of the street, and a man like an ostler came running up. The man asked the prisoner it he should clean the pony, and he said " Yes." I asked the man if the prisoner was his master, and he said he was, and that he kept 20 horses and carts, and let them out. I then let the pony go. Mr Edward Reed, lately horsekeeper, of Church• street, proved buying a pony of the prisoner on the Tuesday after. By Mr Pater—Prisoner sells corn and flour on commis sion for his father- n-law, who lives in Swan-street. By Mr Beard—l am the nephew of the prisoner's father • in-law. Prisoner attends fairs and buys horses. I have never known him to bo in trouble during the last six or seven years. I have never known him to be charged with any offence. I don't know that he was committed from the Worship .street Police Court and tried at the sessions. Sergeant Evans, 22 U—l took the prisoner into custody at Stapleton's Horse Repository, Liverpool-street, City. I have known the prisoner for years. Prisoner never had a corn chandler's shop, nor vans to let for hire. A. remand was granted. MARKETS—This Day, MAI‘K-LANE. Fresh up to our market to day the arrivals of English wheat were small, the trade, however, was by no means active; nevertheless, prices ruled firm, and at the close of business a fair clearance had been effected. The aupply , of foreign wheat on the stands was but mo derate. For all descriptions the trade ruled firm, and Monday's currency was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at furl quotations. Only a moderate supply of barley was on the stands, and both grinding and distilling qualities changed hands at full currencies. Malt was in fair average request at late rates. The market was well supplied with oats. The trade was less active than on Montiay, nevertheless that day's ad vance in the currency was supported. Beans and peas ruled firm at full quotations. Flour changed hands to a moderate extent at quite pre. vious rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout.

The Earl of DONOUG tiNIORE moved that considering the extent to which agrarian ou rages prevail in certain counties in Ireland, and the difficulty which exists in ob taining convictions for offences of this description, this house is of opinion that the power of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland to remit the whole or a portion of the sentences of persons convicted of such crimes should be exercised with greater care and c rcuwspection; and this house observes with regret that the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland orderedthe release of Michael Dungan, Patrick Durgan, and Patrick Egan, prisoners under sentence for an agrarian offence, con fined in the county gaol of Westmeath, upon grounds which appear to be insufficient. In the county of Westmeath there had been for some time a sort of hidden war carried on against the rights of property and against those who took part in vindicating them. Several of the judges had pointed the attention of the grand juries to the atrocious character of the crimes perpetrated iu Westmeath ; they were not sud den outbursts of passion, but the result of a systematic course of outrage, resulting from the mysterious operations of the Ribbon conspiracy. The noble earl then entered into the details of a number of cases in order to show the cha racter of the agrarian crime in this county, and its connec tion with the Ribbon organisation; and he also mentioned several instances in which men who had been convicted and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment or penal servitude had been released by the Lord Lieutenant before the termi nation of their sentences, and allowed to go at large, no doubt to enlist others in the secret society to which t hey be longed. The men to whose case he was now calling atten tion were convicted of a gross agrarian outrage ore the pre mises of a man named Doolan. He believed it was said, in justification of the course which the Lord Lieutenant had taken in remitting a portion of their sentence, that there was a doubt as to their identity. But, so far was that from being the case, that they were identified in the clearest manner by witnesses who saw them distinctly and had known them previously. The cause of their release must, therefore, be sought elsewhere. The truth was that the Lord Lieutenant had yielded to a memo rial sent to him. He had previously rejected one which was signed by 47 people in a very interior grade of life, and he (Lord Dunoughmore) should like to know whether Chief Jae. ice Manahan, who tried these men, was then consulted, and if so, what answer he returned. The second memorial was signed by Mr Bury, a Presbyterian minister, who was uncle stood to entertai❑ very peculiar views with regard to pueishment. And within sot days fr m its receipt these in-n were liberaeed. He wanted to know whether Chiet Justice Monahan was con ulted on this occasion. On neither occasion was any local inquiry made, nor were any of the rnegiedrat.s or grand jurors of the county consulted, a mat ter of which he thought they had good right to complain. 'The men h4ving been released, there was within a few days atterwarde a renewal of agrarian outrages iu the neigh bourhood, Two out of three men who had been released had previously lett the country ; and almost itnrnedatety the police began to make an inquiry with reference to the perpetrators of these crimes, the third man also disappeared from the neighbourhood, showing clearly his gui.ty con science. This kind of conduct on the part of his Excellency was like that of Nero, fiddling when Rome was burning. He knew the Lord Lieutenant was a very amiable man; but they required a man of firmness and courage to admi nister the I,w in Ireland. His lordship's clemency to Rib• bon conspirators was death to the well disposed. Earl GRANVI LLE said that this motion was one of a most unusual character, for it asked their lordships to interfere with the manner in which the Royal preroga tive was administered, and to censure strongly the per son who was now entrusted with the exercise of that prerogative. Ho was confident that the House would not pass such a resolution unless they were satisfied that there had been some gross want of discretion, or some corrupt motive, on the part of the person whose conduct was complained of. He regretted very much the state of Westmeath, which was no doubt very unsatisfactory ; but it really had nothing to do with the present case, which turned entirely upon a question of identity. Although the prisoners were identified by one witness, they were not identified by others who were present at the same time. An alibi was, moreover, set up, and Chief Justice Monahan in reporting on the case, spoke of it as one of great difficulty, and said that he did not know how he should have voted if he had been on the jury. That being the case, he could not think that this was an improper case for the exercise of the royal prerogative of mercy. After a few words from the Marquis of 'WESTMEATH and the Duke of LEINSTEE., The Earl of LEITRIM made a vehement attack on the Lord Lieutenant. Lord CHELMSFORD said that it had not been made out that the Lord Lieutenant had improperly exercised his discretion in this case, and he therefore trusted that the noble earl would withdraw the motion. The Earl of DONOUGH.IIIORE then withdrew the motion. WINDOW BREAKING IN IRELAND. The Earl of LEITRIM then moved for certain papers relating to some windows being broken at Eskcragh, alias Esker South, in the parish of Mobil', borough of Mobil', counry of Leitritu, between the 24th and 30 h day of March, 1864. His lordship detained the house nearly a quarter of au hour in detailing the particulars of this case, which he made the medium of another violent attack upon the Earl of Carlisle. He concluded by denouncing the noble earl as a traitor to his Queen, his country, and his religion. Earl GRANVILLE declined to defend Earl Carlisle agst such observations, He was ready to give a portion of the Impers asked tor. The motion as amended was then agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening. Mr TREHERNE calle•f attention to the injury which the staple trades of Coventry had suffered, and were still suffering, from the operation of the commercial treaty with France—and asked the Government whether they would use their influence with the French G ivernment to obtain the same free admission into France of English ribbons and watches as was accorded by that treaty, ou the principle of free trade, to French manufactures of a similar description into England. Sir J. PAX lON thought that the retention of a duty upon the imp .rt ut ribbons into Fiance was a defeat in the commercial treaty with trait country, and urged upon the tievernment the necessity of making representations to the Empero , of the French with the view of inducing him to remit the impost. Mr GIBSON would be glad to Pee a better market created on the Continent for cheap ribbons manufactured at Coventry. It could not be said, however, that the existing rates of duty on ribbons going into France were exorbitant, though he granted that they steed in the way of trade in the interior sorts; but he was happy to find that during the first five months of the present year there was a considerable increase in the export of British silk rib bons. He did not regard the distress that hal prevailed at Coventry as a result of the French treaty, or as that which it was within the power of legislation to remove. Her Majesty's Government would be only too glad to see the same freedom of import existing in France and other countries that we had permitted those countries to enjoy here. Mr NEWDEGATE stated that the depression of the Coventry trade, consequent upon the new commercial ar rangements, had been such as to drive between 11,000 and 12,000 people from the district. He hoped the Govern ment would represent to the Emperor that whereas France had reaped great advantages from that treaty, it was only fair and just to place English silk goods, and particularly ribbons, imported into France upon the same footing as that upon which French goods were received in this country. The subject then dropped, and the house soon after went into committee of supply. Mr 11. BRUCE moved the remainder of the vote for education, and in doing so entered into a variety of statistics in explanation of the distribution of the grants, the number of schdols in operation, the pupils attending them, and the general effects produced by the new revised code. A lengthened discussion ensued, in which Mr Adderley, Lord R. Cecil, Sir S. Northeote, Sir J. Pakington, Lord H. Vane, Sir G. Bowyer, Mr Lowe, Mr Lygon, and Mr Pugh took part. and the so-termed " Conscience clauses" were submitted to considerable criticism, Ultimately the vote was agreed to non. con, On the vote of £97,582 for the Department of &LAIN) and Art, Mr A. SNII lli moved to reduce the amount by £15.000, the sum required for now buildings; but upon a division the amendment was rejected by 131 to 73. The vote was then agreed to, and the Chairman reported progress. PENAL SERVITUDE ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. Sir G. GREY explained the Lords' amendments to this bill, most of which wore considered and agreed to. iIUNT moved that the house should disagree with the next amendment. The clause, es sent up to the Lords, squired that the holder of a licence, when at large, snould ri quired to report himself within three days of his ',rival at any place to the head of (he vlice, and subse• quently once a month.

DISTRESSING CASE of DEATH BY FIRE.—On Tuesday night, between eight and nine o'clock, a deplorable cause of death by fire occurs ed in the Borough to the wife of Mr John Bec kett, late relieving officer of the West London Union. It appears that the unfortunate crea ture, who is not more than 30 years of age, was alone in the house at the time, With the exception of her family, consisting of five small children, and having newly taken the premises, she, in the absence of her husband, put the children safely to bed, and then descending to the lower to put the place in order, taking i t n g o f a t l h ig e h h te o d u° Can beg dle an with her. Her cries having alarmed nbealsgehbe7; and the police ob s erving the fl ames through theth the basement they got into the premises, and there they found the poor woman in a complete blaze from head to foot. As promptly as possible the fire was extinguished, but the sufferer had ceased to exist. Medical assistance was called in and other efforts used, but it was found to be a hopeless ca se, life h av i ng b een d es t ro y e d b y the fearful element. It 18 supposed (the candlestick being found on the floor; that she had set it thoughtlessly down and her drees having caught the flame it ignited, and hence the calamity. The requis i te information has been sent to l‘lrPayne, the coroner , relative to the unfortunate occur rence. The other day, a not very prepossessing looking person, named John Doherty, about 22 years of age, made an application at the Leeds Police office for the situation of " hangman for the West Riding." He said he belonged to Glasgow, and hearing that Leeds had been made an assiza t ow n, naturally concluded that a hangman would be wanted, and started off to make a personal appli cation. Ho expressed himself quite able to " serag'ern," as he tc'med it, although the only experience he had had was in having seen two persons executed at Glasgow. He was referred to the High Sheriff of the county!, NEIVGATE AND LEADENIIALL. Moderate supplies of meat are at these markets.

The following bills were read a third time and passed : Anthony O'Reilly's Estate, Crieff and Methven Junction and Branch Railway, Finchley, Wellesden, and Acton Railway, and Londonderry Improvement. JAPAN. Etrl GREY then rose to move the resolutions relative to this subject, which have already appeared in The Sun. The noble earl said he thought the time had arrived when the relations of the country with Japan should be taken earnestly into consideration, and he had ventured to bring forward the foregoing resolu Lions. They did not imply censure on the Government, not because he approved of their policy—far otherwise. What was already done could not be undone, but he felt that if ha could induce their lord ships to come to an expression of their opinion upon the matter by agreeing to his resolutions it would in a great measure tend to diminish the dangers that might possibly arise. (LEFT STEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Independent Gas Company and the Newquay and Cornwall Junction Railway Bills (Lords) were read a third time and passed. PRISONERS IN THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE . In reply to Col. SMYTH, Sir G. GREY said that he believed that prisoners com mitted for trial in the North- West Riding were sent to York Castle, but they would now be sent to Leeds, and without any alteration in the charge for their main tenance. __ OFFICERS IN THE INDIAN ARMY. Capt. JERVIS and Col. SYKES asked a sezies of ques tions as to the substantive rank, promotion, &c., of Indian officers. Sir C. WOOD said that he had no objection to lay on the table any return relative to this subject; but he did not know exactly what papers were meant. He entered into a lengthened explanation to show that no injustice would be done to Indian officers in reference to promotion and rank. WINDS AND CURRENTS IN THE MID ATL&NTIC. Sir J. ELPHINSTONE asked the Secretary to the Ad miralty whether the opinion of Vice Admiral Fitzroy, Pre sident of the Meteorological Department of the Board of Trade, had been taken as to the winds and currents which prevail in the mid Atlantic in the months of July, August, and September ; and, if so, whether he would lay that, opinion upon the table of the house; and, whether the Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty were aware that the facts Bet forth in Captain Maury's Trade Wind Chart for the month of August were in every respect opposed to the information given to the house by the noble lord the Secretary to the Admiralty, on the authority of the hydrographer of the navy ? Lord C. PAGET said that the recommendations of Cap tain Maury were in perfect accordance with those of the Government hydrographer. The Government would be happy to lay on the table any papers on the subject, but he declined to produced the report of Admiral Fitzroy, as the Government were quite satisfied with the report of their official hydrographer PENAL SERVITUDE ACTS BILL. The Lomb' amendments to this bill were brought up and read, and some were agreed to. THE DANO-GERMANIC QUESTION. Lord BURGHLEY asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether he could explain the statement which appeared in the Times of Tuesday, the 28th of June, to the effect that the President of the Council of the Lower House of Rigsraad, in answer to a question upon the Conference, made the following reply : " The Danish Plenipotentiaries were instructed to accept the * line of demarcation of the Schlei, and to agree to a fortnight's prolongation of the armistice, should England firmly adhere to that line. Earl Russell promised that neither would he make a proposal himselt, nor support the proposal of any other plenipotentiary, which would be less favourable to Denmark, unless Denmark herself should consent to such new proposals. Earl Russell nevertheless proposed, in the sitting of the Conference on the 18th, that the ques tion should be submitted to arbitration, although Denmark did not consent to this proposal." Sir G. GREY said that as his noble friend the First Lord of the Treasury was absent, he trusted the question would not be pressed at present, but that it would be put on the order for going into Committee of Supply at a later period of the evening. TERRITORIES OF THE HUDSON BAY 6 . COMPANY. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr A. MILLS called attention to the present condition of the territories claimed by the Hudson's Bay Company ; and moved an address for copies of all correspondence which has taken place between the Imperial and Cana dian Governments respecting the western boundaries of Canada, and of any memorials forwarded to the Colonial Office from the inhabitants of the Red River Settlement. Having drawn attention to the vast extent of the territory in question and to some of the territorial points in reference to it, he contended that it should be annexed to Canada, so' vs to make a great colonial chain of British territory. Mr WATKINS expressed his strong disapprobation of the policy of allowing this vast territory to be held by a mere trading fur company. He said that unless Government took active steps in regard to this territory it would dwindle into a mere America settlement; but if the British flag were hoisted over it, it would become one of ;the most flourishing of British colonies. Mr CARDWELL said that he would offer no objection to the production of the papers moved for. The subject had been referred to a committee in 1857, which recommend ef that the offer of the annexation of the territory to C provided that colony were willing to incur the expenseof purchasing it.

The light was supplied by a pile on Bunsen's principle, composed of about 50 elements, and it succeeded tolerably well, but the employment of the pile was attended with much inconvenience. It was then determined to repeat the attempt with a magneto-electric reschine. ma chines and the light The new experiments tried at Dunki rk and Ostend had a double object-1, to prove bow the light pro duced by the machine would act un der water ; and 2, to discover the effect the light woul d p roduce on the fish. The first object was completely accomplished, and it is now demonstrated that magneto-electric they produce are applicable to all submarine works. In fact, this light was constant at 180 feet under water, and it extended over a large surface. The machine, nevertheless, was placed at a distance of m ore than :300 f ee t f rom th e regulator of the electric light. The glass sides of the lantern remained perfectly transfs reut y and the quantity of coal consumed were less th an if it were in the o p en air.

Bacon have recently contributed some valuable help t o the intelligent study of the war now raging in Virginia by the publication of two maps, which illustrate on a large scale the prominent features of the country now occupied by the contending armies of Grant and Lee. Every position is distinctly defined, and by their help the course of Grant' s advance, and the steps by which his adversary has foiled his movements may be distinctly traced. O n e of these maps represents an area of 50 miles round Richmond ; the other takes a wider range, and embraces the whole state of Virginia. The funeral of the late Mr. Washington Wilke will take place at Norwood at three o'clock to-naorrow afternoon.
